..sell the watch 
and you are close to Plus price ...you most likely won't need a SP for the Ultra and a case is not expensive.. Go Big or Go home

It's just a phone and 98.5% similar to what you've already got lol. You'll struggle through.🤣SOOO jealous of all of you in the UK and Europe that are getting your phones early!
But congrats and lets us know your thoughts
Won't lie, the phone looks extremely tempting this year. Getting bored of my iPhone lately! I'm just a nerd who wants to try something new. lol.
Same. I got 15pm but it’s boring as hell. So I am switching to s24u and will continue to use my AirPods and MacBook
This is without a doubt the smoothest and fastest Android device I’ve ever used. It feels incredibly quick! The hardware is fantastic.
The pen feels great. I love using it!
I’m used to the clean Pixel UI and find One UI a bit messy. I don’t like that I can’t uninstall or disable some of the pre installed apps without using ADB.
It’s not even possible to block notifications in some Samsung apps.
The customisation options in Good Lock are amazing though.
The pictures aren’t as good as the ones from the Pixel 8 Pro. I hope future updates will improve the camera but I don’t think it will be as good.
Hoping there will be a good GCam version soon.

Have you installed the on release software update for the camera though?
By the way at least in the UK Amazon is offering £100 off the Ultra and plus as well I believe until the 30th January.
It looks tempting but I am going to wait to see the Fold 6 first.
Mine's just arrived. Glad it's here and now I just need to get through some work calls before I can get it set up and have a play!
Just got text and email from Samsung that says mine shipped on UPS and will be here on the 26th! But no shipping label yet on UPS. Ordered directly from Samsung during the presentation. Unlocked Purple 24U to be used on Verizon.
First impressions are good. Loving the flat screen.
Have briefly set it up and signed in etc. Done all the app updates. No day one OS update for me.
Leather case is nice, though it leaves a lip round the edges. It’s almost as though it was designed for a curved screen. Maybe the screen protector will fill the gap.

When I saw one in the shop today it looked smaller than the 15PM for some reason, even though on paper it’s meant to be bigger.
I don't know if it's the fact that Samsung are now using a flat display (which I didn't think I would like) or the titanium, but this S24 Ultra feels better in the hand than the S23 Ultra. The grey titanium looks really nice in person, I'm glad I went with this colour.
Camera wise I think it needs an update, there is definitely some over sharpening going on when using the zoom. Battery life is too early to tell, I'm at least hoping for the same great battery as the S23 Ultra.

I got the notification this morning and was so happy. It's expected to get delivered Friday. My case and the \USB C to headphone jack dongle(with a built in DAC) came in the mail yesterday. Thus, when the phone arrives I'm ready to start the initial setup and the eventual transfer of my applications once it arrives.
mine too yay! loving the Titanium Grey. Has a really nice feel/weight in the hand too, feels very balanced and premium
I’m really liking the flat screen. Makes a noticeable difference to me. Going to set it up later on when the kids are in bed
